"......okay." Its didn't argue. Even his eyes were completely empty. Before, out of his whole carved expression, they still had their old spark. Not now.

"Just...come with me."

2016-01-01 11:56:26

🌀

He followed obediently behind her, staring straight ahead. He didn't get as many stares this time around.

She waited till they were in a more secluded area of the down before she turned to face him. "You okay?"

2016-01-01 12:00:58

🌀

".....yes." He was fine. He wasn't....upset. He just............understood now.

2016-01-01 12:03:22

●

"Are you sure?"

2016-01-01 12:07:05

🌀

"...................yes." He didn't look at her. He looked past her. If he looked at her, he might start feeling bad about how worried she was.

2016-01-01 12:08:31

●

"You're lying to me again." She frowned, and hugged him tightly.

2016-01-01 12:12:00

🌀

He didn't move. He didn't hug her back. He just stood there motionless. For a second he raised his hand slightly, to pat her on the back....then he lowered it again.

2016-01-01 12:15:13

●

She remained in that position, holding him.

2016-01-01 12:15:57

🌀

She wasn't letting go. He couldn't go on like this for much longer, even though he knew he was supposed to. Its didn't need hugs to work. They didn't......he.........didn't........his shoulders started shaking, and he began making crying sounds, though his face remained dry.

2016-01-01 12:19:30

●

"It's alright." She rubbed his back. "Just let it out."

2016-01-01 12:20:34

🌀

He couldn't feel that. He finally hugged her back, fingers clutching tightly at her velvet dress.

2016-01-01 12:23:33

●

She rested her forehead on his chest. It's alright. Everything is okay.

2016-01-01 12:26:08

".......h-huh-h-he was right, I'm an--an it, I-I'm not............"

2016-01-01 12:28:51

●

"You're not an it." She held him tighter. "You're definitely not an it."

2016-01-01 12:29:37

🌀

".......I'm an /object/, you're a q-queen, of course they'd.....stare......."

2016-01-01 12:33:24

●

"You're not an object. You're a huntsman. You're Madison. I don't care if I'm 'queen' or not. I'm not letting you be treated like that."

2016-01-01 12:34:06

🌀

"........I'm a pretty fucking terrible Madison............"

2016-01-01 12:35:53

●

"You're a pretty fucking wonderful friend."

2016-01-01 12:36:18

🌀

"........you can't be 'friends' with........."

2016-01-01 12:37:40

●

"I can, and I will."

2016-01-01 12:38:06

🌀

".....that's....not how it......."

2016-01-01 12:39:52

●

"I don't care how it goes. If I want to hold your hand, I'm going to damn well do so. If I want to spend time with you, I'm not letting some stranger tell me how to do it."

2016-01-01 12:41:09

🌀

".........." His eyesight went blurry for half a second, and something dripped onto his hand. He held it up to look at it. A......tear. ......what?
